A case came up in New York supreme

SO 900 counsel fees for professional advice
given Miss Robins. He recently secured IN
order sending the case to Q referee. The
motion msde by Ira Shsfer on behalf Of Misa
Robins was to reopen the case in order "a
secure jury trial.
The argument brought to light Q strange
story. A few years ago the isther OF Miss
Robins. very wealthy man, died, leaving
$50 600, and Q short time sfterward an aunt
died, leaving an additional $50, 600 to Miss
Robins for life, the principal 70 20 to her
children. The hsiress was living st the
Buckingham hotel, and two blocks away, at
the Windsor, resided DR.. J. G. johnson, his
wife and child.
DR.. johnson became acquainted with Miss
Robins, made love to her and finally ask ed
her to marry him. saying that though he was
living with wife No l, at the Windsor, be
had secured an Illinois divorce and was sim.
PLY keeping up pretense Of married life.
Miss Robins consulted with Mr.. Malcolm, a.
TO the propriety of the marriage under the
circumstances Her brother, VINO In Y broker
In Wall street, heard OF what was going on
and called on Mrs. johnson at the Windsor.
She denied the divorce. Mr. Malcolm ad-
vised against the marriage. but in spite of
this Mrs Robins and the doctor went to Lon.
don together. 1t II alleged that they were
maj Iried there.
1t WAS about this time that the doctor and
the two women began negotiations through
their attorneys, Charles II. heed, the de-
fender OF Guitesu, representing the doctor
and his latest wife. They endeevored to in.
duce the first vile to sesk divorce in ILL.,
nois She agreed 70 do this for 500 600, but
the other side were willing to give $50 600
only. A compromise was effected on this
basis, and she went to Illinois and got . di
vOrce in 1856.
After the divorce was obtained tho doctor
and Miss Robins returned to New York and
were married by clergyman. Lawyer Nal
colin who has been the I'd visor OF Miss Rob-
ins, sues for hts fees.

Counterfeit Coins.

The late Captain Wallace w. Hall. of
the United States Secret Service, shortly
before his removal 10 st. Lolis, is said
to have been investigating q gigantic
counterfciting scheme BY VII ch alleged
rare, costly and unique coins were beng
put upon the market as genuine. In
1850 Philadelphia coin dealer advcr-
tised IN auction sale 81 Ills superfuous
coins, including an 1904 dollar, only SIX
Of which are known to have been coined
before the issue was recalled. But the
valac Of ono cf these dollars is $500 or
more, and so great interest was excited
in thc sale. A wcll-known connoisseur
who attended discovered that some Of
the coins were not genuine, and on the
collection being sent to the mint it was
found that a large number Of the coins
had been made within a year. The gov
eminent ofiicials are now convinced that
some Of the shrcwdest counterfeiters in
the country are making fortunes in this
business.

Attorney-G nerat Brewster had the
strangest conceit df any man who ever
came to Washington. He liked an open
CRATE fire, but somehow he detested The
color Of coal. The contrast Of the black
coal and the rel and blue flames was
most distasteful to him; SO bis servants
had orders to splash the fuel literally
with whitewash, which he kept on hand
for the purpose. If there was such
thing as white coal, Brewster would pay
more for it than any other man living.
